Chapter 2608 - 2607: Surprise

Little Jin started pecking at the gold, and under its sharp beak, the already soft gold felt like butter, easily smashed and swallowed into its belly.

As it fed, Ling Feng shared his findings with Gu Li.

After listening, Gu Li laughed, "So, does that mean the boss doesn’t need to find that space ring himself anymore?"

"Yes, they’re helping me search for it, though I don’t know how long it’ll take to find it," Ling Feng nodded.

"As long as it’s out there, it’ll definitely end up in the boss’s hands; I’m confident in that!"

Gu Li said, then laughed, "So, boss, your main focus next will be on the Li Dynasty?"

"That’s right, Bruce promised to send over a batch of ships to fill our manpower and material gaps, so I need to keep an eye on that," Ling Feng said.

"Alright then, boss, you go ahead with your work. There’s nothing urgent on our side right now. Even if something comes up, we can usually handle minor issues ourselves!" Gu Li said.

"Sure, don’t overwork yourself now, everything’s on track. Remember to rest; if there’s nothing urgent, go take a vacation!" Ling Feng said.

"Don’t worry, boss, we will take care of ourselves!"

Gu Li smiled gently, looking relaxed.

Meanwhile, Little Jin was still busily pecking at the gold, and within moments, had devoured tens of kilograms.

Though Ling Feng felt a bit distressed, seeing the hard black feathers begin to appear among its down, marking Little Jin’s significant growth, the gold felt inconsequential.

Despite its rapid transformation, it wasn’t until five hours later that its body turned completely black and grew significantly larger.

When it stopped eating, the gold consumed had exceeded two tons.

At this moment, Tian Lian said to Ling Feng, "Master, Little Jin has completed the first step of its evolution and now requires new food."

"Oh? Is it going to need more expensive metals?" Ling Feng asked.

"Sort of, it now needs to eat alloy; I think there’s some at our Moon Base!" Tian Lian said.

"Alright then, off to the Moon!"

Ling Feng nodded, thinking today he’d do nothing else but tend to Little Jin.

After he left Lingyun Island and arrived at the Moon Base, Ling Feng ordered the core to bring a batch of previously refined alloys.

With this material, Little Jin fluttered its wings, jumping and bouncing in excitement.

Then, as it began to eat, Ling Feng was astonished to find the alloys designed for spaceship shells were being gobbled up like jelly!

This ability to process metals is unbelievably strong!

As the alloy was absorbed, Little Jin’s body ballooned like a growing balloon, its height gradually reaching ten meters.

Ling Feng now had to look up to see it.

Little Jin’s legs were as thick as his waist, and its four claws were yellow, with sharp, shiny tips resembling steel blades.

Its feathers showed a metallic sheen now.

Each black feather looked like a flying dagger.

This creature’s majestic appearance was daunting even without action.

Soon, the second phase was complete; Little Jin had transformed from a cute chick into a giant bird resembling an eagle!

Seeing this, Ling Feng felt satisfied and immediately took it to the Xuanling Realm, to Xuantian City for refining.

Utilizing this gap, Ling Feng secretly went to find Shui Lan.

Upon meeting, the two naturally stuck together like glue, having not seen each other for some time.

...

...

Ling Feng left the Xuanling Realm, returned to the Li Dynasty with Little Jin, and let it showcase its prowess.

With a flap of its wings, it instantly turned into a black dot in the sky.

The speed was jaw-dropping.

Almost simultaneously, Ling Feng’s earpiece transmitted Lingyun’s voice, "Master, unidentified creatures from Earth have flown out of the atmosphere!"

"I know, it’s the Little Jin I just acquired; try to track it!" Ling Feng said.

"Okay!"

Lingyun complied, beginning real-time reporting on Little Jin’s movements.

In less than ten minutes, it had flown to the Moon.

Listening to its activities on the Moon left Ling Feng speechless.

It turned out Lingyun found Little Jin digging huge holes on the Moon’s surface like a chicken scratching for food.

Minutes later, Lingyun reported, "Master, Little Jin seems to have discovered some shiny minerals on the Moon."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng immediately summoned a miniature spaceship and flew into the air.

When he reached the Moon’s surface, Little Jin had already excavated a pit over dozens of meters wide.

Piled beside the pit were piles of sparkling stones, all hexagonal, resembling crystal columns.

However, these objects were not transparent, exhibiting a black-gray hue.

Ling Feng glanced at the bottom of the pit, seeing Little Jin still digging, he didn’t disturb it, merely instructing the spaceship to lift a piece of mineral into the cabin.

Just as he intended to analyze this mineral further, Little Jin suddenly flew up, stood outside the window, and said, "Master, why aren’t you coming out?"

Upon refining its Beast Spirit, it had developed the ability to speak, and Ling Feng laughed bitterly upon hearing, "I’m not like you; I can only last in space for a few minutes, and my clothes would get shredded!"

Little Jin tilted its head, perplexed, "How come? You shouldn’t be, if you’re with me!"

"Really?"

Startled, Ling Feng immediately asked.

"Rest assured, Master, as long as I’m here, you won’t be affected by the space environment!" Little Jin said.

Ling Feng became restless upon hearing this, promptly standing, "Then I must try it!"

Saying this, he instructed the spaceship to open its hatch, and jumped out.

Outside was a complete vacuum, devoid of air, zero pressure, and temperatures around minus 100 degrees.

This time felt entirely different from his previous space experiences!

Apart from being influenced by gravity, Ling Feng felt no discomfort!

He could breathe, felt warmth, it was simply miraculous!

Stunned for a moment, he looked up at Little Jin, "What’s going on?"

"I fly in space not because my body withstands pressure and temperature, but because there’s a protective barrier around me," Little Jin explained.

"That’s truly impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng thought, from now on, couldn’t he fly freely through space without a spaceship?

Thinking of this, Ling Feng’s heartbeat accelerated, feeling like he opened a door to a new world!
